Black Dog Sunday

Shyla joined our family in 2012 as one of the most fearful and meek dogs who I'd ever known. From the start, our Black Dog loved her.

One day soon after Shyla's arrival, I came home to find our Black Dog lying in a sun puddle with her. I grabbed my camera to take a photo of their Labraduo snuggles. However, sweet R chose that moment to give his sister some kisses. I felt so lucky to have my camera out and ready at that moment.

Shyla looked sort of shocked - perhaps because of her retiring personality. Over the years, she came to expect spontaneous affection from our Black Dog and reveled in it.

Happy Black Dog Sunday!

    KB the more I read about the early days of R and the love and nurturing he gave Shyla, the more I realize your shiny black dog was one of the 'angels among us' that Alabama (country band) sing about in their song 'There are Angels Among Us'. R was an angel on earth long before he got his wings.
    Hugs and Happy Easter to you and your pack

    Shyla really is surprised and R is being his loving self. One of the loveliest dog photos ever! And how he must have helped her overcome her fears and become the dog she is today. I miss him and I'm so glad you decided to dedicate Sundays to your Black dog.
